Home insurance - what type of lock are these?

Options
Hi,
trying to get insurance quotes for a house (not moved in yet). I was told both doors are composite style.
I'm not sure what types of lock there are - please see the photos. I think the one on the grey door is multipoint locking system but not sure.
The other, green door - no idea what lock it is as the EA don't have a key to it so was unable to open it to get a better look.
Anyone got any idea?
Thank you!

    It might be multipoint but your photo only shows us one point…

    I would presume they’re both the same anyway.

    I did ask the estate agent what type of locks there are and all I got from them for an answer were those 2 photos, nothing else...

    Just go for the conservative (i.e. less secure) option on the forms for the meantime, I doubt it makes a massive difference to anything.

    Or ask the question again, or arrange another viewing (which you might want to anyway if you haven't exchanged yet...) and have a look yourself.

    Open the door, lift the handle, assuming more than one claw/hook/bar comes out the edges of the door then its a multi-point locking system
